THE REST OF THE STORY
As the anglers arrived, they were greeted by untraditional north winds
for this time of year. They were between 12-15 mph with white caps
topping the 4-6 foot seas.
The first day as well as the rest of the tourney proved to be beautiful
with no wind and relatively calm seas. As we departed on our travels
home, the wind was blowing just as it was when we arrived. This was
our usual good timing and
if you missed this one, it was the best fall fish count
in our 25 years. See you next year!
